Seifert and Allen set partnership record in New Zealand's 10-wicket win over
UAE. Pakistan faces US
CHENNAI, India (AP) --- New Zealand openers Tim Seifert and Finn Allen shared
the highest-ever partnership for any wicket at a men's T20 World Cup on Tuesday.
Their brutal power-hitting in an unbroken stand of 175 saw the Black Caps beat
the United Arab Emirates by 10 wickets.
Seifert followed his half century in the first Group D game against Afghanistan
with an unbeaten 89 off 42 balls. Allen was not far behind and smacked 84 not
out off 50 balls.
New Zealand sprinted to 175-0 in 15.2 overs for its second successive win in a
group that also features 2024 finalist South Africa. After winning the toss,
UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem (66 not out off 45 deliveries) and Alishan Sharafu
(55 off 47) had earlier anchored their team on a good batting wicket to 173-6
in 20 overs.
But the target proved too small for the aggressive New Zealand batters.
Seifert and Allen provided a rollicking start of 78-0 in the power play as UAE
pace bowlers bowled too many length balls which were duly dispatched for
boundaries on both sides of the wicket.
Seifert hit 12 fours and three sixes, including the winning six over the head
of Muhammad Rohid, who was the most expensive UAE bowler with 0-51 in 3.2
overs. Pacer Junaid Siddique's four overs went for 47 without any wicket while
Muhammad Arfan conceded 36 runs off his three overs.
Allen matched Seifert with his innovative ramp shots and hit five fours and
five sixes.
The previous record stand at a men's T20 World Cup (170 runs) was set by
England batters Alex Hales and Jos Buttler against India in 2022.
De Leede stars in Dutch first win Earlier at New Delhi, Bas de Leede's all-round show earned the Netherlands a seven-wicket win over Namibia in Group A. De Leede grabbed 2-20 as the Dutch used eight bowlers and Namibia scored 156-8. De Leede then smashed four sixes and five boundaries and guided his team to 159-3 in 18 overs with an unbeaten 72 off 48 balls.
Pakistan bats against US In the night game on Tuesday, United States won the toss at Colombo and chose to field against Pakistan in Group A. Pakistan escaped with a narrow three-wicket win over the Netherlands on Day 1. The U.S. has happy memories against Pakistan from the last tournament with a sensational win in the Super Over tiebreaker in Texas in 2024. Pakistan has reversed its decision to boycott its T20 World Cup game against India on Sunday. ___ AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket
